--><p><i>Stylocline citroleum</i> is known from western Kern County; basis for an 1883 San Diego County report is likely extirpated or plants were mislabeled. It is fairly widespread on and near the former Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve (D. F. Williams et al. 1998).</p><!--
--><p><i>Stylocline citroleum</i> almost always occurs with <i>S. gnaphaloides</i> and/or <i>Logfia filaginoides</i>. It is thought to be descended from hybrid ancestors (J. D. Morefield 1992, 1992b) and now appears to be fertile, morphologically uniform, and reproductively isolated from sympatric taxa. Character states place it sister to <i>S. gnaphaloides</i>.</p>
